She was the wife of Frederick Charles Cole of 16 Proctor Street, Chester Hill. Mrs Cole was born at Eurimbla, Cumnock, on June 28, 1873, and was the youngest of 10 children of Henry Thomas and Sarah Elizabeth Purcell. In 1906 she married Frederick Charles Cole at Molong. Their children were sons Charles and John (deceased), Francis (Sydney), Raymond (Sydney), daughters Miriam (deceased), Heather (Mrs A.Warby, Auburn), Kath (Mrs K.Crickette, Chester Hill), and also 16 grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. Mrs Cole was a champion horsewoman in her youth, and even in later years she would speak of her wonderful horse "Stella", and her two champion sheep dogs "Nell" and "Jackie". Her grandfather, Sir John Purcell drove the first bullock wagon over the Blue Mountains. Mr and Mrs Cole spent most of their married life in Molong, Wellington and Orange, moving to Sydney in 1950. Mrs Cole's health deteriorated slowly over the last six years which she spent in Chesalon Church of England Nursing Home at Harris Park. Mr Cole visited his wife six days a week for all the years she was hospitalised. After a service conducted by the Salvation Army at Timmins Funeral Parlors, Parramatta, the funeral cortege moved to the Rookwood Crematorium.
(3) Addendum, by J.G.Kelson........
Theresa' grandfather John Purcell, never attained the title nor Knighthood. Negative indication that he ever drove Bullock wagons over the Blue Mountains. Though her father, when retired from seafaring, conducted a carrying business and quite possibly travelled this route...........
Theresa married Frederick Charles Cole, son of David Cole and Catherine Russell, on 3 Apr 1907 in Molong, NSW, Australia.3 (Frederick Charles Cole was born on 3 Jun 1880 in Rockley, Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia,3 died on 29 Jul 1970 in Dubbo, New South Wales, Australia 3 and was buried on 31 Jul 1970 in Auburn, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia 3.)
